Review:

1st string - Open = E, 1st fret = F, 3rd fret = G

2nd string - Open = B, 1st = C, 3rd = D

3rd string - Open = G, 2nd = A

4th string - Open = D, 2nd = E, 3rd = F

5th string - Open = A, 2nd = B, 3rd = C

6th string - Open = E, 1st = F, 3rd = G

Remember, 1st and 6th string have same note names. 6th string is two octaves lower.
